I got injured at work and lost my health insurance, what's the cheapest way to get my child health insurance?

I've been on work comp for over a year and after one year my employer stopped my health insurance. I'm don't care about myself but, what's the cheapest way to get my daughter temp health insurance (Texas) until I make it back to work in 6 months. I've looked at website and they want to know my income. I make good money at my job to afford insurance but, work comp doesn't pay anywhere close to what I normally make. Anyone out there ever been in the same situation or know what I can to. Thank you for you time and help. God Bless.I got injured at work and lost my health insurance, what's the cheapest way to get my child health insurance?The cheapest and only way to get your daughter on a policy is Medicaid. Because of Healthcare reform private child only policies are no longer available.



The only way to get her a private policy is for you or your spouse to also get a policy. For this you'll need to contact a local agent that works with all of the major companies in your area. The agent can find the best plan for your situation and budget. There is no charge using an agent.I got injured at work and lost my health insurance, what's the cheapest way to get my child health insurance?Well, here in California we have Healthy Families. This is also based on income, but it is private insurance that the state chips in on. Check to see if you have something similar. I wouldn't worry about the income requirements too much. They basically have you pay a monthly co-pay based on it, but unless you make more than say like $55,000. here in California I wouldn't worry about it. My Boss is on it and so was I, even though we have private insurance. These programs existed for us poor working stiffs. And when you're on comp every little bit helps.



Oh....and it might help you to know that at least here the monthly "co-pays" are around $6 per child. And even after you are back to work they can stay on it.I got injured at work and lost my health insurance, what's the cheapest way to get my child health insurance?Try applying for medicaid. They won't take you but they will almost always take your children especially if your income has gone down. Medicaid is free to you and will cover pretty much anything for your kid's.I got injured at work and lost my health insurance, what's the cheapest way to get my child health insurance?
